And Bessie, filled with horror, saw the canoe overturned by the wind. She saw, too, what eyes less quick would have missed that the paddle, released from Minnehaha's grasp as the boat upset, struck her on the head. For a moment Bessie stood rooted to the spot in terror. And then, when Minnehaha did not appear, swimming, Bessie acted.
There is, however, a queer one about how he came down and helped a poor orphan boy." "O, tell it to us just now," said Minnehaha, "while he is watching and listening." "Do, Mary," said Sagastao, "and Minnehaha and I will watch the old fellow and see how he likes to be talked about."
You saved Minnehaha in the lake and to-night you saved all the girls from being frightened. But we'll have to begin doing our share before long." "As if you hadn't done a lot more for me already than I'll ever be able to repay!" said Bessie. "And I know it, too. Please be sure of that. Good-night." "Good-night, Bessie."
In the joyousness of those happy days up in those high latitudes, when the changes of every twenty-four hours can easily be noticed, Sagastao and Minnehaha for a time troubled neither Souwanas nor Mary for Indian legends or stories.
But here Minnehaha appealed to Souwanas, and said: "I have been wondering how it was the old man and his daughters got the fire in the first place from out of the underground. Will you not tell us that story some time?" The old man looked grave and was silent for a minute or two, then he replied: "I think you had better ask Kinnesasis.
Vainly walked he through the forest, Sought for bird or beast and found none, Saw no track of deer or rabbit, In the snow beheld no footprints. Then came the two dread visitors, Famine and Fever, and fixed their awful gaze on Minnehaha, who Lay there trembling, freezing, burning At the looks they cast upon her, At the fearful words they uttered.
However, there was one still greater attraction than Dollis Hill, and that was America home. Mark Twain at sixty-five and a free man once more had decided to return to his native land. They closed Dollis Hill at the end of September, and October 6, 1900, sailed on the Minnehaha for New York, bidding good-by, as Mark Twain believed, and hoped, to foreign travel.
But she could not shake him off, and on the way he had told her about the exciting happenings of the previous day, of which, she told him, she had already heard in the village. "By Godfrey!" said Paw Hoover, as he saw the rescue of Minnehaha, "that young one's got pluck, so she has! And, what's more, Miss, I've a suspicion I've seen her before!" Wanaka said nothing, but smiled.
Thus, because the human race changed from being all kindness to the rest of the creatures, both great and small, into being cruel and savage, all these various creatures have combined to bring dreadful diseases among men in revenge for their own wrongs." "That is too bad," said Minnehaha. "Why could they not have kept on loving each other all the time, instead of things being as they are now?"
"Huh!" he replied with a tinge of contempt, "how could they cry after being shot? I don't believe that is it at all. And, look here, Minnehaha, I am going also to ask why it is that, while all the rabbits were so white in winter, they are all now so brown in summer."
